who left Baltimore on Saturday, January 20,
1887, alleged defaulter to the amount of $780,
600, has been presented by the grand jury of
that city, for forgery. 1t is understood the
proceeding before the grand jury is instituted
with a view to the apprehension of the abb
sconding clerk. An indictment, properly au-
thenticated, would furnish the basis of re-
QUESTION upon the Governor OF another State
for the accused or for extradition from
foreign country. Those who are interested in
the prosecution seem to know where Lisle is.
Mr.. Henry Dixon Jones, instructor in elo-
cution at Harvard University, gave lecture
to the students of Western Maryland College
on Thursday afternoon last. To say that
both teachers, students and invited guests
were pleased. is stating it mildly. In the
evening, at Odd Fellows Hall. Mr.. Jones
gave readings from various authors Dickens,
Shakespeare, Bret Hart, Oliver Wendell
Homes, Longfellow and others, in most
pleasing manner His versatility and culture
were well exhibited in varied selections. He
is an easy and graceful elocutionist, and ex-
presses strong feeling or emotion without
manifest effort. His art is well concealed.
Mr. Jones possesses round, full voice, and
is equally fine in tragedy, humor or pathos.
We hope he will soon visit us again when we
are sure he will be greeted by large audience.
